<p>The UK is taking steps to ensure that both our immediate responses to COVID-19
and long-term recovery efforts do not exacerbate social tensions and instead help
to build peace, improve governance and strengthen social cohesion. We are encouraging
our implementing partners to demonstrate accountability, strengthen local ownership
and leadership and adopt inclusive, conflict sensitive approaches. We are further
working with partners, governments, media providers, civil society and local leaders
to counter mis- and disinformation.</p><p>We particularly recognise the importance
of working with local women’s rights and women-led organisations to deliver more effective
and safer responses, and believe that greater engagement of local partners ensures
continuity and builds social cohesion as efforts shift to the medium and longer term
recovery.</p>
